I could not recommend David more. He got me the best possible outcome in my case, which initially did not seem to have much hope. He was phenomenal with navigating the criminal justice system, as well as helping me to understand what was happening every step along the way. David is very professional, knowledgeable and experienced. Choosing him to represent me was the best thing I could have done.
